Nice to meet you too.
I would definitely be up for another meet up especially if there is the possibility of alcoholic refreshment after:D

Monday
9 miles @ 8:12 m/m endurance run.
Stretching and foam rolling after.

Tuesday
7.1 miles with 2 sets of 4 x 150m strides with 4 mins recovery between sets.
The plan called for a general aerobic run with strides but I was a bit tight for time so the overall pace was a bit quicker than it should of been and I could feel it in the legs by the time I had finished. More stretching and foam rolling after.

Thursday
7 miles @ 8:40 m/m General aerobic run.

Saturday
3.1 miles @ 9:13 m/m recovery.
Just a run out to keep the legs ticking over ahead of the Terenure 5 mile race tomorrow. My 5 mile PB is a little on the weak side probably because I only have run one 5 mile race so a new PB should be on the cards. My current PB is 33:35 from Ferrycarrig 5 mile in January 2015.

Mrs Mc · 14-05-2016 9:56pm

Singer · 14-05-2016 10:26pm

Have a great race tomorrow! No pressure, but your 5M PB is still worse than mine...

Really well done L, found it really tough today, that's a great time. Good to see you beforehand!

Kennyg71 · 15-05-2016 3:49pm

Well done on pb today

Firedance · 15-05-2016 9:00pm

denis b · 15-05-2016 9:31pm

Great work on a day that tested most.

Thanks folks, it was nice to get a PB but it was really a soft target.

I would love to be able to give you a race report but apart from the first mile, which was way to fast, I don't actually remember much of the race mainly due to the fact that as soon as the pace started to drop in the second mile I spent the rest of the race arguing with myself. I was completely unaware of what was going around me so much so that when I loaded the race up on garmin connect it was only then that I realised that the race was 2 laps of 3 and 2 miles and not 2 laps of 2.5 miles:eek:. So that really is an indication of how my race went, I wont go into what my internal arguing was about but suffice to say that I done well to finish the race.
The splits: 6:16, 6:33, 6:39, 6:34, 6:41. chip time 32:43.

Considering that I got a PB what I have written above looks a touch dramatic but I really did have a race to forget. I will be back to Terenure in the future though, it really is a well organised race with a good atmosphere on a fast course.

I'll just leave this here in case you want to try again..... :pac:

Thanks but no thanks. I am too traumatised after last Sunday to even consider another 5 miler this year:)

I was looking around for a 10k in June as I cant do Dunshaughlin and I am thinking of running Clonee, that's one of your clubs races isn't it? Sell it to me.

ha no worries, yep, last year was the first one and it got great reviews, Pacing Mule and Hannibel Smith did it and enjoyed it, its pretty fast and flat and last year we had post race spread that included Dominos Pizza :pac:

jake1970 · 18-05-2016 12:25am

Monday
4 miles @ 9:15 m/m recovery.

Tuesday
8 miles @ 8:36 m/m general aerobic run with 8 x 100m strides.

The legs are very tired since the race on Sunday and I think they could do with a bit of a rest. I thought the strides might wake them up but that didn't work. I will contact the physical therapist in the morning to book a sports massage but it could be next week before I get an appointment. My youngest has her first communion on Saturday so the second half of this week was going to be quiet running wise anyway and that will hopefully give the legs time to recover.

With regards to my training plan I have had to cancel running the Dunshaughlin 10k which was my goal race because I have a stag weekend on that date now. My new goal race will be Clonee 10k which is 12 days after Dunshaughlin its not ideal but it does means extending the plan a bit.

denis b · 18-05-2016 6:58pm

Catch ya for Clonee as its my B Target Race. Going to run it regardless.

I am raging to be missing out on Dunshauglin but Firedance has promised a fast flat course and pizza after in Clonee. Hopefully I will catch up with you then denis. Best of luck Friday night.

100% recommend the race.

It is flat enough. A slight climb out and a slight decline back makes for a fast finish.

Sitting in a pub eating pizza after a race was a highlight

Will do and sure I'd run through every hedge between town and Clonee for the PROMISED pizza alone
